Celebrating Bests, Back-to-Backs, Specialties & A New Record Holder

This past week was full of excitement with several Nationals and prestigious Clusters taking place from Coast-to-Coast. With many shows awarding the Miscellaneous class, this weekend was a terrific opportunity to see the new breeds that will be assigned groups soon.

Record Breaking! The owners of GCh Promenade’s Pay It Forward are thrilled that his latest Best In Show At Camellia Capital put him at the top of the list for Field Spaniels, making him the Number One Field Spaniel of all time. Expertly piloted by Elizabeth Jordan-Nelson & bred by Jane Schildman, Gideon is owned by the late Jane Chopson, breeder Jane Schildman & Nicki Kuhn …. Nicki Kuhn offered her thoughts on Gideon’s milestone:

Many thanks to all of you who posted congratulations to Gideon on his record breaking BIS yesterday. This has been a once in a lifetime experience. Elizabeth Jordan-Nelson is a master handler and she always presents Gideon beautifully. Congratulations to Jane Kellar Schildman for breeding this fabulous Field Spaniel. Jane Chopson would be proud and happy.

Back-to-Back Bests

GCh Woodside’s Megabucks was awarded back-to-back Best In Shows at the Perry Georgia cluster. Always handled by Lenny Brown, Megabucks is owned by Kiki Courtelis, Joyce Wilkinson, Jodi & Jason Duin. Megabucks has been creating quite a stir since he debuted in the United States with eight Bests In Shows.

I have been blessed with good dogs. It is my duty to add to our breed good temperaments, great conformation and functionality! Rocket, Prince, & Tundra are examples of that!

Nationals & Specialties

Irish Water Spaniel National – we’ll be covering this National in fuller detail later in the week. Mrs. Mareth Kipp judged 102 entries in Farmington, Utah. The top IWSs were present with the number one Sporting dog, number one All-Time IWS GCh Whistlestop’s Riley on Fire winning BISS. Owned by Bethany & Tom Urban, and Gregory Siner this lovely girl is from a powerhouse litter as she and her sisters have dominated the breed since their debut. In chatting with Bethany Urban, she noted that she had never owned a show dog, never knew how to count points, “it’s been a rocket ride to be sure.” Riley or “RiRi” as she’s nicknamed retired after her win, and we expect to see her sisters carry-on her remarkable record.
